Maybe serve whole pieces of pita? - cold appetizer - Mezze trio of eggplant salad , one of the most amazing tzatzikis I've ever had, and hummus. The eggplant salad tasted a little bitter to me. - my main was whole fried snapper. Nice and crunchy but a little bland. Small side salad also was a little bitter tasting. Lemon potatoes were a little disappointing. They could be a little more lemony. - friend had baked cod with potatoes and seasonal veggies. Desert was written on menu as strawberry crème brûlée but it was actually regular crème brûlée with small slices of strawberries on the edge. It was delicious. There has been a surge of Mediterranean restaurants opening in Staten Island and there is a lot of competition. There's a small parking lot in the rear so that helps since New Dorp is tight.

They also have valet which I would assume parks your car on the street as well. The place itself is cute, but it's small. The party I attended was in the interior of the location (there was another party happening outside). What I didn't like about the interior was that if anyone was dining in there for lunch/dinner, they had to walk through our party room in order to get to their seats. The staff also had to go through our room to get food/drinks to the other diners. There is also only one restroom for women, which there was always a line for. In regard to the food, the appetizers brought out were the crab and strawberry salad, the Asian ribs, and the octopus salad. This was all very good. For the entree I chose the rib eye. It was really good as well, I just wish there had been a little more seasoning, and also I requested medium but it came out more on the well side. For dessert we had the brownies with ice cream, and the Nutella wontons. This was delicious! Overall, I'd recommended this place for a small party or private dinner. But don't expect privacy.

The cheesesteak was huge and cooked to perfection. Tender steak, perfect amounts of cheese, onions and jalapenos, and the bread, a semolina complimented the sandwich perfectly.

The restaurant is clean, beautifully decorated, and has an authentic Mexican taquería vibe. The Mexican music playing in the background made the atmosphere even more enjoyable. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. I already can't wait to come back and work my way through the rest of the menu. If you're looking for authentic, fresh, and flavorful Mexican seafood and tacos, this place is a must-visit. I highly recommend it!

Taqueria El Buchon: A Birria Revelation (and a Masterclass in Hospitality!)…read more My usual Mexican food pilgrimage involves a bit of a trek. Still, on a recent, intense QuesaBirria craving, the thought of a long drive was about as appealing as a lukewarm taco. So, I did what any smart foodie would do: hit up Yelp and Google for "Birria Restaurant Staten Island." Taqueria El Buchon popped up with reviews so good, I practically tasted the birria through my screen. "Alright," I thought, "let's give this a shot." And oh, am I ever glad I did! From the moment I rolled in (walker and all!) to the moment I reluctantly waddled out, I was utterly captivated. First, let's talk about the unsung hero of my visit: the gentleman (whose name I regrettably didn't catch, but he deserves a medal!) who served me. He didn't just serve; he served far and beyond. This man was a hospitality wizard, attentive without being overbearing, and genuinely made me feel like the most important diner in the room. And speaking of delightful surprises, let's dive into the chips and salsa. Forget those sad, bagged imposters from the supermarket. These, my friends, were the real deal. The salsa was a vibrant fiesta in a bowl - bursting with fresh cilantro, chunky onions, and ripe tomatoes. But the chips? Oh, the chips! Crispy, fresh, with that perfect, satisfying crunch that screams "homemade." The waiter confirmed they whip these beauties up fresh right there in the restaurant, and you can absolutely taste the difference. Seriously, a must-try! Now, for the main event: my QuesaBirria. This wasn't just a taco; it was a work of art. They were thoughtfully cut into perfect triangles, like a gourmet quesadilla. This ingenious design meant a flawless "plate to mouth ratio" - no embarrassing meat or tortilla shrapnel decorating my shirt, the table, or the floor. While I love a good messy taco as much as the next person, this elegant presentation was pure genius. The portion size was generous, and the blend of tender meat and cheese was simply divine. The consommé? Flavorful and rich, a true tasty companion. My only tiny wish (and I mean tiny, because the taste was absolute perfection) was for a few more strands of birria meat in the broth/consommé, as I've encountered at other spots. But honestly, it's a minor quibble in an otherwise flawless performance. The ambiance was just right. The music was a tad loud, but when it's tasteful Latin beats, who's complaining? Certainly not me! My Latin roots demanded a little chair jig, and I happily obliged. (Don't worry, it was subtle... mostly. lol.) But the true cherry on top of this already fantastic experience happened on my way out. A lovely young lady, without being prompted, graciously got up from her chair, greeted me with a warm smile, and opened the door. In a world where genuine kindness can sometimes feel rare, this was a truly delightful and happy moment. I thanked her, and now, reflecting on it, I wish I'd tipped her just for that thoughtful gesture. If I could give Taqueria El Buchon 10 stars, I absolutely would. Thank you for the exceptional service, the incredible food, and the heartwarming hospitality. You've won a new loyal customer! PS: almost forgot: I also absolutely enjoyed the whimsical salsa bowl; it was definitely unique and so cute! I want one. :-)
